    Newbie NEWBIEHi Folks, Just to introduce myself, I am 74 years old, retired after 20 years

    Hi Folks, Just to introduce myself, I am 74 years old, retired after 20 years working as an aircraft electrical engineer, 8 years as an hotelier, 5 years as a sub-postmaster and 15 as a restaurant owner before going broke.
    I now spend my time fiddling (as my wife says) with my motor caravan, taking occasional trips (between hospital, doctor, optician and dentist ), reading and watching telly.
    I noticed on this forum a thread about cheaply repairing led televisions because many “dead” ones are caused by capacitor failures and many other problems with fairly simple board changes. I thought “I can do that” so here I am.
    Cannot add much to the forum but will be asking lots of questions, which when answered, may be help to other people.

    3 Thanks given to Briang

    nice introduction, welcome aboard
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    I do believe we have found the official Digital Forums Grandad!

    Mods need to create this new role and apply it to his account....

    What are your rates for babysitting Bri?
